Slimmer, simpler, faster: A new header for the Montana State University Library website.
A few months ago I wrote a post about streamlining multi-page content into a single page. This design decision encourages the user to scroll through longer single pages rather than click through multiple pages. As our pages have become longer as a result, more content started to move farther away from the header, which contains our branding, global navigation menu, and the “Ask A Librarian” link. Our header contains this important information both for us and for the user, so we set out to design a new header to fit our longer pages.
